I would be most grateful if people could give their opinions on which of the
following two products they think are best for defragging:

O&O Defrag Pro Edition
Raxco Perfect Disk

Thanks for your time.

I have used Raxco PerfectDisk for several years and
found it to be an excellent product! It has several
nice features, including the ability to perform an
off-line defrag and a defrag of the paging file.

PerfectDisk defragments the entire disk, including Master File Table (MFT)
and all related NTFS metadata, paging files, hibernate files and directories.
This gives users total enterprise-wide defragmentation of all files on
Windows 2003/2000 and XP systems. Being able to defragment the MFT
is important because it is the first place a request searches to find a file.

I thought I should also mention that I have four hard drives in my PC.

C Drive 40GB
D Drive 120GB
E Drive 120GB
F Drive 120GB....This one is used for storage and doesn't change much
with regard to fragmentation.

Thanks again.

Have to agree with Carey; Perfect disk is by far the best i've used to date.
